Friendly Fill-ins

Each Thursday Ellen of 15andmeowing and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs, provide Friendly Fill-in questions.

Ellen came up with the first two questions and Lorianne came up with the last two questions.

If you need help, please let either Ellen or Lorianne know.

Here are this weeks questions:
1. ________________ was a pleasant surprise.
2. ________________ was a not so pleasant surprise.
3. I can’t help but _________ when _________.
4. I wish people would stop asking me _________.

Here are my answers:
1. Retirement was a pleasant surprise. I was worried it wouldn’t be as good as it turned out to be.
2. My shoulder impingement was a not so pleasant surprise. I couldn’t use my left arm at all.
3. I can’t help but laugh when I do stupid things.
4. I wish people would stop asking me? I’m drawing a complete blank on this one.

    For years I always said I couldn’t wait until I could retire. Now that I live alone it doesn’t sound quite as wonderful. I’m pretty sure I would turn into a hermit.

    That kitty has gorgeous eyes! Mom laughs at herself a lot. She did when she kept reading the last one and couldn’t figure out what it was you wished people would stop asking…then she realized what the answer meant.

  9. Deborah – South San Francisco, CA – I am a Wise Woman who has been on a spiritual journey for many years. My wisdom was not gained through a higher education but through the University Of Life and all the insight, knowledge gained through the pain of trials and tribulations on the path of weeping to healing. Though I have come a long way, I am not done yet! I still have much wisdom to gain, more growth through pain, and the beauty of spirit that come by continual shedding of the old to receive the new! Sweet Blessings!

  16. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Supurr fill-ins Sandee, retirement sounds epic, we hope it’s as good for us as it is for mew! Happy weekend and thank mew as always for hosting!

    Jen says:

    Ow, so sorry about your shoulder. Also sorry that I have been a little MIA lately. Pneumonia, colds, flu, stomach flu, strep, so many activities. I am mostly losing it. If one more person gets sick I am moving us all to remote island for a bit!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Oh no on all the sickness. I hope everyone gets well soon. You need some rest for sure. 🙂
